[Secret Agent Man]

So no coworker he told well before this ever said anything to anyone else in the company? Or to her?

We don’t have the complete story here.

[Morgana]

It would seem he did not say anything until after he killed her.

I am wondering what his beef was with her.

Maxwells Silver Hammer alert …

[frank ballenger]

Bearded creep who said he had been planning to kill the woman because he didn’t like her.

May she rest in peace.

What do you expect from a sledgehammer, a love tap?

[frank ballenger]

Didn’t see how close the other story on the other station was. Sorry I added it as a link.

[Bullish]

Was Peter Gabriel around?

The district attorney’s filing also states that Delong confessed to law enforcement that he attacked the woman, that he did not like her and he had “been planning to kill the victim for some time.”

Delong was arrested at the scene and booked at the Wright County Jail on a second-degree intentional murder charge.

Second degree? Not first degree?

You can't get more intentional than what he admitted.

Betcha she turned him down for a date.

Or the great TV series that was canceled too soon.

Sledgehammer.

Two great scenes.
Detective Hammer calls for backup and six squad cars screech tires and officers rush in within a minute.
“I am really impressed at how you guys got here so fast. Outstanding.”
Cop: “Uh, there’s a donut shop right next door to here.”

Another. To get a young punk to talk after cornering him at the gas station convenience store, Hammer forces him to eat the moldy, badly outdated sandwiches and burritos for sale there. He gives up and talks instead.

“Betcha she turned him down for a date. “

That was my first thoughts.

Thing about it is, and I don’t know the woman but from the looks of her and what she did for a living, I get the feeling she and him played for the same team. Again I don’t know so don’t take that as the gospel truth.

[Mark17]

I wonder if he has any particular “religious” views?

[Getready]

Betcha’ he is crazy. There must have been signs. I would guess he imagined she turned him down for a date.

[wally_bert]

Sledge deserved a few more seasons.

[TheThirdRuffian]

Perp’s name is “ Thráin II was the King of Durin’s Folk.”

He said something about her taking his “ring” and how he would not tolerate such on offense.

[sport]

We need stricter hammer control laws.

[coloradan]

This story won’t make national top-story status because a gun wasn’t used.

[from occupied ga]

Another victim of sledge hammer violence. There hammers have no place in our society as they are made for destruction and should be banned

[MayflowerMadam]

Minnesota. Woman murdered. I was expecting a Muslim name.

[MayflowerMadam]

“I hit her with your hammer.”

“Was that wrong? Should I not have done that?”
